Chapter 15

In this chapter we are introduced to Christianity and the reasons why chrisitianty broke off from the catholic church and started to split into different forms of christianity known as the protestant reformation. Catholicism was very popular in Western Europe for many years but through out those years we begin to see corruption within that. We are also introduced to the Eastern Orthodox Church which was the church in Eastern Europe and Russia. The protestant reformation starts in 1517 because of this corruption and it is started by Martin Luther who writes the 95 theses and pins them to the church wall. This was the first time that the church has ever been challenged by anyone and people began to listen because Martin Luther called out the church for there wrong doings and wanted them to change. The ideas of the protestant reformation were able to spread through out Europe due to the invention of the printing press which allowed the spread of newspaper to be faster. The spread of christianity was seen throughout the world due to colonizations of other continents by the europeans. The protestant vs. christianity fight happened for over 30 years but it finally comes to an end thanks to an act written by king Henry.

6. Read the poem on page 798 by Nguyen Khuyen, a Vietnamese official during French colonial rule. If you had the opportunity to share a glass of his “fine wine” (or a cup of tea) with Mr. Nguyen, what would you say to him? How might that conversation go? Here is the poem for your convenience: Fine wine but no good friends, With this poem, i am able to tell that this man has all the things that he wishes to have in his life but he got all this wealth for a price. I think that if i had a chance to talk with him i would ask him why he feels so alone and what he is doing about that loneliness. I would also tell him that everything that he has done to get the things he desired at the time came at the price of having a family and friends to share these things with. I think that the conversation could go well and he would listen because he is already in turmoil for being so lonely and he wants anything to fill those missing pieces in his life. What was distinctive about European co...

Another pandemic that i did some research on was the bubonic plague or the "Black Plague".The black plague is the most famous and deadly plague to hit humanity because it killed between 75- 125 million people which at the time brought down the human population almost 40 percent. Today if a plague hit that hard there would only be 4 billion people left in the world which means we would lose 4 billion people.  It came from Central or east asia it was spread througbh the silk road which caused ot to spread very rapidly through Europe and it killed 30-60% of Europe's population due to the fact that medicine wasn't thriving and people didn't have the knowledge of how things were spread. Hygiene wasnt a big thing back in the 1300s so this caused the plague to thrive everywhere because being clean and having decent hygiene wasnt taught. The plague has been on and off again for centuries but until the 20th century, it wasn't completely stopped. The climate cooled...

3.  In what ways has economic globalization more closely linked the world’s peoples? Reglobalization of the worlds economy is the Acceleration of circulation of goods, capital, and people meant globalization thus enabling workers to travel to other countries for employment. Transnational corporations produced & delivered goods in & to many different countries which led to diversity & exchange. Goods weren’t just staying local within he countries but it was dividing out everywhere allowing for new opportunities to come in, similar to the silk roads. Money was also mobile as foreign direct investment one country opens a factory in another for better efficiency in making products and delivering them, the short-term movement of capitol onvestors annually spent trillions of dollars buying foreign currencies and sold them quickly afte,  person credit cards began to be used also . Global stock market is the transnational corporations. What distinguished feminism ...
